Psychology professor and self-help guru Jordan Peterson took to Twitter on Monday night to criticize Yumi Nu, a Sports Illustrated swimsuit model, and received significant backlash. He then informed his followers that he would no longer use Twitter, before going on to tweet 27 times over the course of the next 12 hours.


Peterson’s original "authoritarian tolerance" tweet seemingly criticized a photo of a plus-sized model, which many took as him arguing that he could not be convinced by evolving beauty standards to find the woman attractive and implying there was something “authoritarian” about the expectation that he do so. Many posters online then speculated about why Peterson had been looking at the swimsuit model in the first place.


Others mocked Peterson’s “authoritarian tolerance” for more highbrow reasons as the controversy around his hot take spread online.


A few hours later, Peterson tweeted that he was leaving the platform in order to keep himself from temptation.


Many posters drew a connection between the roasting Peterson received for “authoritarian tolerance” and the culture warrior’s exit from the social media platform.


Peterson continued to tweet, however, chiefly about the reasons he had stopped tweeting.


Peterson promises to focus more on writing and video content after he leaves Twitter, so this is more than likely not the last defense of tradition we will hear from him.
